Tornado reportedly hits near Clemson's campus

As if Clemson's football team didn't have enough to deal with this week ...

Now reports out of the area are that a tornado spawned out of remnants of Tropical Storm Fay struck the campus today, causing minor damage.

Per the Associated Press story ...

The worst of the damage happened near Clemson University's football stadium and not far from the downtown area, Pickens County Emergency Management Director Don Evett said.

I have been to Clemson's campus, and it's not a large place.

According to the blog of Charleston Post & Courier beat writer Larry Williams, the Tigers football team took shelter with the rest of the athletics department at the Jervey Athletic Center, which is across the street from the stadium. Reporters bunkered down in the stadium's press box.

Apparently, cars were damaged and trees were knocked down, but no injuries have been reported, which is good news.
